The Yoga Alliance (YA) is the largest nonprofit association representing yoga teachers, schools and studios in the U.S. The YA exists to sustain and support the field of yoga by providing the public with a registry of teachers and schools whose training meets their standards, and by supporting yoga teachers, schools and studios in their work as yoga professionals. Yoga Alliance Registry is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that works to ensure knowledgeable instruction and training programs can be found by yoga students.
In May 2013, the YA launched a Logo Redesign Contest through 99designs.com, and Anaimation’s proposal was selected over 6,000 submissions from all over the world.
